Hi Evan:

I bought my copy directly from Matthias : https://www.airmodel.de/product_info.php?language=en&info=p138_douglas-c-117---r4d-8.html

HTH

Much thanks, I may well do that.  Tempted to buy two as the package I bought on Ebay has heritage conversions for both the Dart-Dak and the Turbo-Dak.

Evan: Airmodel has a 15% off sale until December 22nd.

Thanks for the "heads up".  Does anyone know of a 1/72 conversion for Basler's conversion with the extended fuselage as well as the engine changes?

A conversion I have is for a South African Turbo Dak. It has the fuselage plug too. Let me find it as it's up for sale.

I would be interested.  *chuckle* I seem to have unexpectedly acquired a vac-form DC-2 kit, perhaps a turbo-DC-2 would be a unique whiff.  Interestingly, both the Super DC-3 and the Basler conversion add the same length to the basic DC-3 fuselage.

I've purchasea a couple directly from him, now.  Since both the BT67 and the Super DC-3 have the same length fuselage stretch in front of the wing, I wonder ic I could use a stock DC-3/C-57 fuselage, inner wings, and the BT67 conversion along with the outer wings, MLG doors, and tail surfaces of the Super DC-3 to produce a "BT67S" that was a lot more solid plastic than vacform?
